Headache and Auto Injury

Headache is a common problem after an auto injury, and it's something that Dr. Szilagyi sees frequently in our Harleysville, PA office. Let's look at the root cause of headache after an auto collision and see how your chiropractor can help.

There are many different kinds of headache. Headache that's triggered by an auto collision, though, usually begins as tension or strain in the muscle tissue of the neck. In a wreck, the neck muscles can be damaged, which results in inflammation and discomfort. These kinds of headache can be felt in different places, including the back of the head or even the temple.

Another frequent cause of headache after a crash that we see in our Harleysville, PA office is cervicogenic headache, or headaches that start in injured ligaments of the neck. Ligament injury is very common after a crash, and it's important to get therapy for this type of problem to protect against the creation of scar tissue.

Chiropractic care is an effective way to treat headaches, including those caused by car crashes. Dr. Szilagyi can help reduce the irritation and tension in your neck, which will help ease the headache pain.

If you've been hurt in a car crash and you're suffering from headache, Dr. Szilagyi is here to help. First, we'll do a careful examination to determine the root cause of your pain, and then decide how to restore your body's natural functioning.
